CANADA has added another cruiser to
her protective fishery fleet. The event
is fraught with the gravest national con-
sequences, as Mr.. ingalls, will probably
declare war at once.

galvanized for the occasion.

SENATOR EDMUNDs is said to be sincere
in his convictions. This may be doubted,
as sincerity is not Mormon virtue.

"Oh, woman, woman " shrieEed
an orator in a speech the other
night, " thou art, the light, the sal
walton of the world | shudder

ing, ennobling influence. bow at
thy shrine, acknowledging thy pur-
ity and truth. There is nothing,
no nothing, so beautiful, so true, so
perfect as a woman | reverence
and bow down before them !" And
when he went home he said to the
woman who was so unfortunate as
to be his wife: "N hat did you
let the fire get so low fort You
knew I'd come half frozen. You're
just like the rest of the women

POTATO CULTURE,

A farmer says in the Rural New
Yorker: My plan of raising pota-
toes is as follows: Manure broad
cast ia December or January-nOt
later. Plough the manure under
as soon as the ground will admit in
the spring. Harrow we'll aud
plant in drills, three feet apart,
pieces of potato cut to two eyes,
one foot apart. Cover with a
plough when just coming through
the ground crossharrowing, kill
ing all the weeds that have started.
Then cultivate often until the vines
are too large to work in. l am en-
tirely satisfied that manure applied
broadcast in January is worth at
least four times as much as that
put on at the time of ploughing. /
keep one lot especially for potatoes
and raise nothing else on that lot.
| use manure every year, in Deem
Der, thirty loads to the acre. OF
course the ground is getting very
rich and mellow by constant ma.
nuring and tllling, and that is just
what potatoes want. can get in
this way, say, 200 bushels per acre,
and am always sure of crop. l
have no trouble whatever with
grubs, and think this is because
| apply the manure when do.

have Rugged him on the spot had
that been a practicable feat. AS 1t
was, be expressed his qualification
as modestly as possible. The
Jewelers. had now reached the top
of the long and steep hill. Fred
prepared to dismount, and was
surprised to notice his companion
straighten up and take firm grip
of the brake handle.
"Why, are you going to ride it y
he calculated.
"Oh, yes, l always do, my brake
is perfect safety.
"Pm with you, them" said Fred,
determined not TO be Outridden by
mere boy. They started down
the steep grade, Ashley leading
slightly. Fred was admiring his
perfect control over the delicate
semi.racer, when he heard a sharp
snap, instantly followed by a short,
girlish cry from the boys lips. AS
the machine shot forward, Fred
saw the shining Tablespoon on the
road, and realized what had hap
pened. At the bottom a mile
down, lay the ford, now swollen
and filed with broken ice. In a
second his brake was released, and
with a strong squirt, he dashed af-
ter the unwary machine. In a few
moments the speed was too great
for pedalllng, so with legs over
handles he flew after the now help
less boy-yes, and gained upon
him rapidly, first tapping bis little
wheel and then getting faster. In
low tones that Fred never forgot,
"Save mew he begged, and Fred
was away. When ABOUT two hun
dred yards ahead, he suddenly
dropped both legs off the handle
bar and put his toe on the step. In
an instant he was standing upon it,
and the brake, almost red.hot, was
scorching the rubber, as it brought
the machine to a stahdstill by the
terrific strain. AS he jumped to
the ground, the runaway bicycle
whizzed toward him, the boy watch
ing him with eager eyes. "Tbrow
up your hands," shouted Fred, and
bracing himself, caught the little
fellow on his arm. He stood the
shock bravely, but as the boy was
dragged from the saddle, the jaunty
cap fell off, and long, brown
tresses fell over Fred's shoulder.
Startled, he turned to the moon.
light and gazed upon the beautiful
face of May Ashley, lovely in re.
pose-she had tainted.
What Fred did in the next few
moments he was neverquite sure, but
he thinks he kissed her back to life,
for soon the flush returned to her
cheeks, and the brown eyes opened
languidly and were fixed OH his so
tenderly, that when her little lips
opened and murmured "Fred," he
blessed the broken brake, the hill,
and his own good fortune.
His felIOw-.sophOmOres, idling
away the time in his cosy rooms at
college, often asked him why a lit
tie blue cap, surmounted by a
Tablespoon adorned his wall but
Fred kept the secret, and he and
his wife keep it yet.

What the cause of paralysis, this
great destroyer Of health and life,
is, no physician or scientist has yet
been able to accurately determine
to the satisfaction of mankind, and
it is equally true that this disease
is becoming every day more preva.
lent. Medical men say that 1t IS
brought on sometimes from one
cause and sometimes from another
but the fact that cases of paralysis
are of almost daily occurrence at
the Hot Springs and other resorts
for the treatment Of blood and skin
diseases, would seek to indicate
that the continued use OF strong
mineral polsons is a great factor in
producing this much dreaded
scourge. This, of course, would
probably not happen, provided
these strong mineral mixtures were
always administered under the eye
Of a competent physician. But
when compounded into nOstrums
the consumer does not know how
large a dose of these pOisons he is
taking, and consequently runs the
risk of being liable to all the dan.
gers of an unwise use of mineral
medicines.
Persons, therefore, suffering from
blood poison or skin troubles, who
do not consult physicians, should
be careful of these corrosive medi
cines.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
THE HORSE AND HIS NATURE.

BY degrees your horses should
be accustomed to wearing a sur
cingle in the stable, then an old
saddle, we say old, in case the colt
should attempt to roll and spoil a
good one. A bride aud snatiie
may then be placed on him, pass
ing the reins through the stlrrup
straps and tying them loosely over
the saddle. After he IS quite ac-
customed to this, be should be
taken out, and a light rider should
mount him, remain few minutes
on him, and dismount, not attempt
ing to start him until he is quite
accustomed to feel the weight on
his back.
In the same way he should be
familiarized with the harness bv
wearing it few fines in the stable
before any attempt is made to
hitch him up. When this done, it
should be on the of side of we'll
trained horse, to something so light
that he hardly feels any weight
behind him. Each day a little
should be added TO this impercepti-
BILE load, until he learns to pull
without ever having been scared or
over.strained.
A good way of exercising a colt
before he is old enough to be used,
is to put a surcingle on him, and a
snaffle in his mouth, with either
rein loosely tied to a ring sewed to
the surcingle, about six inches be-
low the middle of the back, on
either side. Then attach q long
line to one side of the snaffle bit,
hold the other, and let the colt
walk or trot around you in a circle,
while you stand comparatively still
in the centre of the ring. he must
not be permitted to turn too long
in one direction, or he will become
dizzy, but must be called in to you,
the snap changed to the other ring
of the snaffle, and started again in
the contrary direction. A second
person to change the line and turn
him, is at first great help; al.
though he will soon learn to come
to you in the centre of the ring, il
you keep a few pieces of sugar OF
carrot in your pocket, and accus
tom him to come when called. II
is never too early to teach him to
mind the word and the younger
he ia, the more easily he will learn
The Importance of this is moi
generally realized. Many acct
dents may be avoided by this man
ner of stopping or calming an ex'
cited horse, when all other means
tail. Whatever work the colt may
be destined to, whether farm work
driving, or aiding, he should be
taught to obey the word while
young.
The line must be long enough to
form a large circle, so that the
horse is not cramped in his gait by
turning too short. He should onl.S
be exercised for a very short time
at first, until accustomed to it. BY
degrees the snaffle.reins may be
slightly shortened, so as to bring
his head into a better condition.
A colt with good, sound hoof:
should not be shOd until he is
needed to work OH hard roads, and
then only with quite fat shoes on
all four feet, except when there is
ice on the ground. This manner o.
shoeing permits the horse to walk
naturally, and is therefore prefer
able to any other.
